Sonnet Reflection

At first, I thought shorter would be better. However, things didn't turn out the way I expected. Unlike the content of Beowulf, which has a story-based plot, the sonnet makes me a more abstract remembrance that eventually troubled me a lot when memorizing. On the other hand, the quatrains do not always rhyme. Some of them are slant rhymes. Hence, abstract image and incomplete rhymes make me feel difficult to recite the entire poem well.
